South Korea's Shoeshine Robot

South Korea is known for being pretty advanced when it comes to automating services within its cities. However, that didn't stop tourists from finding this shoeshine robot, located in Seoul, fascinating. Some visitors took a photo of it, and it went viral. Apparently, it only costs around $1 to use, but you have to be okay with sticking your foot into something that looks like it could easily take it off.

Luckily, for people who shine shoes, the consensus online has been that it "roughly" shines shoes, so we doubt it'll be taking any jobs anytime soon. But it's still a pretty cool concept.
